Christmas.

Oh, it is already Christmas day. I can not believe that it have been a year since the last Christmas. I have done a lot of things this year. I went to Miyazaki a lot for teaching marching band. And also junior high school and elementary school in kumamoto. I had really good time with them as I already told you. I think I had great experience this whole year. My high school got the first prize and I was there and share the greatest time with them and their teacher. Teaching music is really difficult and fun! It's depends on how you can teach them in easy word. The music will change if you are great conductor or great teacher. Isn't is interesting?

I also studied a lot this year. I think... Almost every night, I was in the library and I was finishing my homework! And I finished every one of them!! How am I good student! I will be junior next year. So, I should be ready for everything I have to do next year. I think I am very ready for every thing. Well, I hope so.. Anyway, I will reach my goal next year, and the goal is get more higher score on TOEIC test and get 300,000 yen. I can do it!!!

Do you have any plan for this weekend? I think everyone of you have. I want to go to Aso for watching some beautiful illumination which I saw on the TV. It was really beautiful and a lot of people were there to enjoy it. It may take more than 1 hour to get there. I also like driving my car so it is not big problem. I have to drive more than 3 hours when I go back to Miyazaki where my hometown is, by the way.

If you have any present for me, just give it to me whenever you want: )

It seems like snowing this evening and I hope so.

Have a great holiday and happy new year!!!

The world's longest cat!

Third podcast project.

1.His name is Stewie.

2.He has the longest body in the world.

3.He measures about 48 inches.

Check it out here!

The world's longest cat!!

This is my third podcast.

I found some funny news for today. The picture you are seeing on the left is the world's longest cat named Stewie. He is a 5-year-old Maine coon cat.

When his family spent few years with him and found out his body was longer than most.

Stewie measures about 48 inches from tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.

If you have seen them who has long long body, let me know how you felt. I thought it is a little wired if they have it like a dachshund.

Romeo and Juliet

This story is also famouse in the world. This story was written by William Shakespeare.

When I saw this movie, it was not the new "famouse" one. It was more than 20 years old, I think, I mean the movie. It was really really old, however, I felt that we really could understand the story and the feeling of two main characters, Romeo and Juliet. If you havent seen it, you should see it. I promise you will like for sure!!

The story of this book can make you happy, but also make you so sad because the story shows that people's life and death.

TITANIC

How great story is this!!!

I think everyone of people in this world know about this story and cryed.

Titanic is known as the "Unsinkable Ship". There are lots of stories of Titanic.

Did you watch the movie?? I think you did already. I can not image that the biggest ship in the world sinked, and how they felt when it is sinking.

This book tells you about what people did after the ship sinked. Lots of people tried to find the Titanic, but without success.

However, on September 1, which is my birthday : ), Robert ballard and Jean Jarry found the lost parts of the Titanic.

If you want to know more about it, you will find the book at library, and also you will find your american dream; )

My favorite fastfood

I really love junk food such as MacDonald hamburger and so on. I know it is not good for our health but I can not stop it. I usually go there by a car and use the drive through. It is really useful when I go there alone or when I don’t want to get out of my car. The best hamburger is teriyaki burger, I think. It is really good. When I was in America, I really wanted to eat teriyaki burger. However they don’t have it in the united states. Someday, I found the teriyaki burger there but not at MacDonald. It was really delicious but very expensive compared to the Japanese one. I hope they are going to have Teriyaki burger in America someday, and all of Japanese there get fat.

My favorite phone

I love using iPhone. It is the greatest phone I have ever used. I know some people who don’t like it, and think it is really expensive. Actually, I was one of them. I thought it will be really expensive and will be hard to pay for its phone fee every month. When I decided to buy and use it, I went to Yamada electronic store in Kumamoto and shocked. It was really cheap. Actually the fee for a machine is almost free, and even if you use two phones it will be cheaper. I was really glad that I could get it and using now. I am now telling my friends how this phone is great. My friends also were thinking that it is really expensive. However, after I explained everything to them, they went to phone shop to get it. Already, some of my friends got it. I can be a staff at the Softbank shop.

My favorite holiday

Well, I love holidays. Because I am a student, and students can spend the holiday doing whatever they want. Especially I love Christmas. There will be a lot of beautiful illumination in town and also a lot of couples will be there too. I remember the last Christmas; I spent the day at a Japanese bar where I was working. I was going to cry at the time. I was very jealous about that everyone was enjoying their Christmas with their girlfriends or their just friends. Now, I am not doing the part time job anymore. So I think I can spend more time with my friends. I can not wait for the day. I want to go to very famous place in Miyazaki where is illuminated beautiful around a lot of trees and flowers. It is just my wishes, sadly.

My favorite country to visit

I have been to some countries. I’ve been to France, England, Monaco, Italia, Australia, Korea, and the United states. My first place where I traveled was France where is really beautiful place I have ever been to. I can not forget how beautiful place there were. When I woke up, I could hear the sounds of birds sing. And when I open the window, there were really blue beach in front of the house. If I have a chance to go there, I really would love to go there. I also loved Australia. I remember that we were spending time with watching really big land and ocean. When I got back from there, I really wanted to stay there and run my own farm. Actually, I can not decide which country was best. However I am sure every county was great and fun.

Blue M&M dye may mend broken backs

I have found an interesting news. The news' title is this.

Blue M&M dye may mend broken backs

As you can see, blue M&M dye will mend the broken backs. It is really good to find those things for people who have those diseases. But it is really strange that the snacks around us has the power that mend it. I hope that all of snacks around us has those power, and we can eat it a lot with those reasons.

All japan competition

I went to high school which i graduated yesterday. They were practicing at Mikawa for practicing marching. They are having the biggest competition that is on next month. I haven't been there for long time, so when I went there, every thing looked so fresh to me. I was really happy I could join the practice yesterday, and running around for all the day. I was really tired and when I came home I went to sleep quickly. When I woke up, I was sleeping on the floor in my room. It was so cold.

I don't remember anything what I did for last weekend. On Friday, I was awake for all night, and went to bed around 8 in the morning. When I woke up, it was already 5 p.m.. So, I couldn't go to bed that day. These days, it is getting so cold. I can not get up and it will be the time for class. However, it is the end of the month, and the winter vacation is coming soon. I should get up early and move my body harder.

Ghost stories

As you can see, this book is saying about ghost.

Well, I can not see any ghost and I don't want to. But I like some scary story especially talking with my friend at night. Have you ever seen a ghost?? I haven't seen it before. But I know a lot of people who have, and also who can talk to them.

When I was a junior high school student, I was in brass band club. I got a lot of under grade student when I become a third grade student. And one of my member in trombone section had some strange tool every day in her hands, even when we are practicing. After few month, I asked about the tool to her, and she answered that she can talk to ghost, and do some healing things to them. I couldn't believe what she was talking about. I thought she was telling a lie to us.

However, one day, I was walking alone really dark floor for copying some music for my trombone section. Have you ever feel that someone is following your behind but nobody is there? I felt that when I was there. It was so scary, but I didn't talk about it to anyone. I went back to the practice room where every one is there, and the person who can see a ghost starts talking to me suddenly.
She said,

"A little boy was following behind you..."

It was so scary. Only I know that I felt someone was following me for long time. After that story, I decided to believe her.

How scary is this story...

The Lost World

I know the story of the Jurassic park, but I didn't know this book's story well. When I watched the Jurassic park on the screen, I was very surprised and impressed what they made on the screen. It looked like almost real and I almost thought there are already a lot of Dinosaurs in this world.

When I read this book, I remembered about the first stories of this series. However, this story looked a little calmed down comparing to the first one. I have never seen this movie, so I would like to see it if i have a chance.

I also liked the music they are using. The sound track of the first movie was written by john Williams who is really famous in the world and everyone knows his music for sure. For example, ET, Star Wars and so on. His music remember the story of movie and how we felt when we watching the movie.

Movie has really strong power I think. It makes people's life in a good way. Also, it can control people's mind.

W3 10/10/17 My favorite Onsen My favorite Onsen is in Yamaga. It is really great Onsen and really cheap to go there. It is 550 yen for each person. I think it is cheap because we usually have to pay more than 500 yen for going to good hot springs. The place is really beautiful and clean. That's why I go there every time when I want to go to hot spring. By the way, I like Onsen in tamana like I already posted on my blog. There are cheaper Onsen in tamana, and there is a lot of historical hot spring there. If you have a time to go there, I wish you enjoy the greatest Onsen and have some beer after that. Do not drink beer if you are driving. lol 128

W4 10/10/20 My favorite place My favorite place is Aso. I really like the great view from the top of the mountain. When I go there I feel the power of the earth. May be the place is “power spot” I think. I don’t believe those things, by the way. When I go back to Miyazaki, I always drive thorough Mt. Aso. It fell so great to drive there and see the view from the top. If you had some big trouble, you can go there and forget everything. Think about the world. Think about how huge the earth is. You might feel that your problem seems really tiny problem. I love thinking that way. Mt. Aso makes me brave and strong. Thanks to Mt. Aso. 121


W5 10/11/1 My favorite sport My favorite sport is Golf. I got all golf goods from my father long time ago. It is really expensive to buy all the goods by myself, but my father got all new set of golf goods. That's why he gave his to me. I am practicing once a week or twice when I have a time. But usually I don’t have time for weekend. I also love soccer. I bought a new soccer game for playing it with my friends. We were playing it for all-day. We got really tired of it. I know it is not sport to watch the screen and don’t move. But it is really exciting for me. I will do some exercise at outside. I will.... 122


W6 10/11/1 My favorite country My favorite country is the united states of America. I think. I like going abroad and have a lot of fun there. So, actually I can’t say where I love the best. However, when I was a junior high school student. I was big big fun of the American culture, and Music. I was listening some American music every day. I really wanted to go there at that time. So, I decided to go there, and study for music, when I was high school student. I can’t believe what I did and my parents let me to do. Now I am studying English at KGU and I hope I am improving my English skill. Someday, I want to visit the University of Montana where I was studying music. 128


W7 11/11/10 My favorite jazz trombone player My favorite jazz trombone player is J.J. Johnson. I love the way he play trombone. I mean the sound and melodious line when he improvises. I am listening his music now and typing this homework. I really feel great when I am listening this. I want to you to get his music and hear. I think you will like it for sure. Oh, I want to practice trombone! I wish I can play like him. I have heard a lot of trombone player since I was interested in jazz music. However, his music is the best I think. I can feel what he is feeling and thinking. I decided that my goal from now is his sound. But first, I have to finish this typing homework. 126


W8 11/11/10 My favorite plan when I have time. When I have time, I usually hang around with my friends. We usually go to drink at Japanese bar. I really love drinking there. Drinking makes me so happy. Am I sounds like an alcoholic? No, I am not. I think. Anyway, that is one of my way to spend time when I am free. I usually drink beer first, and after that I drink Shochu. My friend also likes it very much. However, we have to control the pace when we drink it. Other wise, we may stay at bathroom for 1 or 2 hours. I have experienced that so many times when I was high school student. I don’t want to feel that again. Please ask me if you want to have a drink with me!! 128


W9 11/11/10 My favorite sport to watch I love watching soccer game on TV. I will be out of control when I am watching it. When the entire world was exciting about World Cup, I am one of them. I was shouting at TV around midnight. I also love playing soccer game with my friends. I bought a new soccer game recently. My friends and I was playing that till the sun came out. We usually couldn’t stop playing it, even we have an important stuff coming the day after the day. I know we should think about other important things, but we of cause can not do that. We prefer not to do that.　　The most exciting thing is that I can play it online with people from other prefectures. Can you believe how the technologies are growing so quickly? 134


W10 11/11/10 My favorite music equipment I am really picky about my music stuff. For example, I really care for the sound when I hear music. I bought a great tool for listening music from my iPhone. It called noise canceling earphone. It is really good for listening music when the environment around you is so noisy, it will delete the noise. I am really surprised when I used it for the first time. The noise is gone!! I think it is really useful when you are in train or air plane. The music will not go out from the earphone, and also the noise. I am sure you feel what you are hearing is really clear. However, is it really expensive, and it is a little big to use, I thought. 126


W11 11/11/10 My favorite J-POP music My favorite Japanese pop music is Southern all stars. I really love their music, actually Mr. Kuwata’s music. His music gives really strong impression. Everyone knows that his lyric has sexual messages. I also love that. Anyway, I love his music best. I have very wonderful story about his band. My junior high school teacher is a drummer in my home town. He was playing for some rock band there. Did you know the guitar player of Southern all stars is from Miyazaki? And he is my teacher’s friend. So he was going to play as a drummer when the band is not famous yet. However, he had enough rock band already so he decided not to join the southern all stars. if he decided to be a member of the band, he will be on a CD jacket. 139

I am here because of he. thank him for being my teacher and teaching music for me. I want to be a teacher like him. Teaching some subject of cause, but also teach very important things for life. He did it and changed my life in a good way. I am still doing music and teaching music for a lot of people, i think it is because he was there.

There are small stuff in this world such as MP3 player, USB memory card, and so on.

In this picture, a girl is holding tiny green thing is a water melon.

Can you believe the small, tiny water melon is 100% natural?

A wild fruit, the Pepquino was discovered by Dutch food producers in South America who brought it to the Netherlands and cultivated it in greenhouses.

While it resembles larger varieties, it has a fresh crisp taste similar to a cucumber and juicy light green flesh.

They are starting to sell these product at £10 per 250g box.

Script for presentation.

There are a lot of funny news in America. I love those interesting news in this world.
I am going to tell you some interesting news in the world.

The first interesting news is this

mother gives birth on 8/8/8/, 9/9/9, 10/10/10

What do you think about this news?? Is it impossible to have children like this news saying??

"When the third one came around and it did end up on 10/10/10, I was surprised and I was happy because then the little one wouldn’t be left out."

So, 11/11/11 baby coming soon? They are quick to say no.

practice

"Practice makes perfect" I love that words. My teacher always said to me when I having a hard time with practicing trombone. I was in the U.S. We, in music major, have to practice our own instrument more than 5 hour a day. It is really hard, but it's also so fun to practice with new friends at a music building. It is open until midnight. So, I could practice long time before some important concert, or my recital. I practiced and practiced. the most exciting things is when I have to play some etude in front of my trombone professor. sometimes he gets angry, because I didn't practice a lot for the music piece. On the other hand, he will be very happy because I spent a lot of time for it. It was a really great time in my life, and I can not stop playing music forever.

The last practice

We had last practice for marching band competition today. They looked really nervous, so I said some funny jokes. They didn't lough,but it was so funny I am sure. Then, they started laughing because they thought I am such a poor man. The last show today, they did really great jobs. We couldn't get a gold prize, but I thought it's doesn't matter. What we need is that the day practiced hard and the mind not to give up so quickly.

I am really proud of them.

My favorite music

My favorite music is Jazz. I was student of University of Montana and learning music there. It was really great experience to learn Jazz in America. I could play with famous jazz player and I could feel the spirit of jazz. I also like improvising. Listening everyone's improvise is so fun. There is a lot of new idea how to play it. If I can be in jazz band in Japan of cause I would play in jazz band. I also want to be a conductor of jazz band. Making the jazz music is really fun. I was teaching marching band this summer vacation and also teaching how to play jazz music there. It was really good experience. Jazz is my favorite music.

My favorite high school memory

My favorite school memory is all Japan marching band competition. We practiced whole year for the competition. I was really nervous at that time but I remember the day we practiced together and hard. We finished our marching band show and at the end of the competition, an announcer said our school got the 1st pries. I could say anything for a moment. We are the best marching band in Japan? It was the best high school memory. Also I want to tell every marching band student how the marching makes us strong. So I am now teaching marching band in Kumamoto and Miyazaki. I am sure they also think so too. Marching band is not only playing music and moving on the field.

My favorite elementary school

My favorite elementary school is Takuma-Nishi elementary school which is I am teaching marching band there. The student of the elementary school is working hard every day for being better music instrument player. When I went there, they were practicing at outside and some of them were sick because of the heat. However, they kept practicing again and again. They had a big marching show at Kumamoto marching festival. I knew they are getting really good at it, and a lot of audience thought like that. I was really proud of them, I hope they get better and better at playing music and be the champion in all Japan. I know they will. So I will do anything for them.

My favorite class

My favorite class is English education. It is really good class for the people who are being an English teacher. I took the class because I want to be an English teacher. Our teacher is Mr. Hayashi. He is the funniest and greatest teacher in this college. He tries to know every student of the class. That's why he is our favorite teacher. Also, his class is really useful. I am doing Kateikyoushi for junior high school student, and his teaching skill is really making my student good at English. I cannot wait to go to a high school to have experience of teaching English for English teacher's license. I will learn a lot of stuff there and I hope I become a great English teacher like Mr. Hayashi.

My favorite junior high school memory

My favorite junior high school memory is when I went to Kyushu wind orchestra competition for our band. It was really great memory of junior high school. We practiced every day, and we could go to the Kyushu competition in all Japan. We were very glad to get the pries and all the member of the band got a strong bond finally. I cannot foregut that my friend who was in Kendo club when he was a elementary school student who didn't like music, however he was the first person who jumped and running around. Now he graduated a college in music major and he is working at a kindergarten. I am sure music has a great power to change people's life in a good way. Of cause I am one of them.

My favorite vacation

My favorite memory of vacation is when I went to New York with my mom. It was my first time to go America. My mother and I went to the liberty of statue. Both of us couldn’t speak English so it was really hard to understand what they are saying and writing. Anyway, we finally could go to there and we also watched the famous musical. Like the lion king. However, I had really bad jet lug, I don’t remember the most of the story. Then I decided to study English more and make me understand English more. When I went back to Japan, I studied English more and more. But it was still hard to understand. It was really great experience for me to go there. It changed my life in good way.

My favorite things to do

My favorite things to do is the "English Central” I found that it is really great if you want to learn English. We can learn how to pronounce it, and how to make conversations with some friends from abroad. I am doing it every morning before the first class and I think it is good to speak English before we speak Japanese. Our body remembers how to move the mouse and lips when we are speaking in English. So I decided to do it every morning if I had my lap top in front of me. Also the pointing system makes me happy. I can find how far I did for it. However, sometimes the "Try Again" makes me mad. I feel like I am throwing my lap top from the top of my apartment if I see it so many times. Anyway, it is my favorite thing to do.

I woke up and went to practice for whole week end from 9 am to 9 p.m.. I am still very tired because of it. And I came back here in Kumamoto midnight. I hope I had more time for it. However, I think my week end was really good, because I could spent time with them and they did really good job. I hope they do their best at Oita.
When I came back from Miyazaki, I found Mr. Tomei sent me an e-mail. It was about a homework from speaking 4 class. It made me really sad and I had no power to do it.

summer vacation.

i spent almost all summer for teaching marching band in Miyazaki. it was really great to spend time with my teacher and student. they were practicing the whole summer for marching band competition. i got sun burn because they practiced outside for 7 or 8 hours. it is really hard to take care them, and practice hard, because i think hard practice makes them more better instrument player, however i can not force them to practice without break time.
it was also great to learn how the my teacher teaching marching band. my teacher is really famous marching band director. so, i can learn a lot of things from him. we spent a long time together and i am sure i got more good teaching skills. the schools which i am teaching got gold prize and they are going to all Kyushu marching band competition that is coming soon. i was really glad they got chance to play over there because it is going to be really great memory of their school.
i believe those days makes them more stronger, and it will give them great personality. i hope the coming competition will be great memory too.

Our country.

Famous music of our country

Famous music of our country is rock and roll music. However, it is a lot different from other countries' rock and roll music. We use shika-kin (Deer-phone) instead of using guitar, drum and so on. It sounds like just steel drum. It is also our traditional musical instrument and every one of family in our country has it.



Weather of our country

Weather of our country is always snowing. It's really cold every day, however some strange things happen. Once or twice a year, a lot of shells come from the sky, and we use it as money in our country. I know it's strange.



Omiyage from our country

Omiyage from our country is "Nail of bears". There are a few bears in our country, so it is really expensive. We can get it at the airport stores, or at downtown. We also use it as a parts of the traditional instrument, "Deer-phone". If you wanna get it from online store, go to "BearFakeNails.com" or call us "BearBearBear", "2327-2327-2327".


Plants of our country

Our national plant is “Vitary”! The flower’s color is white, it was found by Vitary. If you eat the flower, you can get better soon from all disease. However it is very rare flower because it open once a century.


Food our country

Our famous food is watermelon, but it is not normal watermelon. It taste like a watermelon sherbet! Because there is very cold place. However it’s not popular because there is too cold to eat. If you’ll bring it to south it malt and you can watermelon juice.


Sports

Our famous sports are bobsled and dogsled! First I’ll introduce about our national bobsled team. Their costume is tight, because they can reduce air resistance. And the course is 50km. We have a big event about it once four years in our country. Next I’ll tell you about our dogsled. There are 12 teams, and they have different kinds dogs that comes with a pedigree. The teams have two dog-sledder for the race. There are 19 race a year, we call it D-1 Grand Prix! The last year’s D-1 champion was Jaime!! He could get the very expensive shika-kin.


Animals

In our country, sea unicorns are very famous. You can see them in a tour on a ship. This is a sea unicorn-watching! We can use their fangs as remedies against any poison. If you take the powder of their fangs, you can be happy!

Folk costume

The nation wear our country’s folk costume whenever festivals hold. All of the costume were made with mink. We wear mink coat, mink globes, a mink earmuff, a mink cap and mink socks. When we wear them, we must be naked! Do you think we are cold? No way! Mink cold weather protection gears makes us so warm.

Queen of Hyperboria

The queen of our country is Damar Gume Mona Ⅲ. She is always so kin to all the nation and loves shiny things. For example, stars, jewels and also MONEY! Her main jobs are protecting the valuable bears and holing parties twice a month. She is beautiful, but sh has no boy friend yet, so she is searching for a boy friend now!

The Baby Day

Well, this book was not for me. I felt like I am a elementary school student. (I think I am not...)

This is the last book review for this semester and I feel really good about this. For the next semester, I will try to read more high-level book. I am sure it makes me more better as a English learner.

What I thought,when I doing book review, was to read some books makes our brain more English like. This is really good practice for speaking English fluently.

hot spring pre

exam.

We are taking a few exam this weekend, and it is really hard for me. How many exam are you going to have this semester? I am not sure, but I always feel nervous when we have it. I don't want to go back to 1st grade.

Anyway, I spent last weekend for preparing for the exam. It was raining all the time, so I felt so bad. It was like eating a soup. Well, I don't have anything to talk about this time. Oh, Spain won the World Cup. However, it seems like all of japanese people care about who won the election. I didn't change my address from Miyazaki to Kumamoto, so I had to go back to Miyazaki for that. Of coarse I had no time to go back there, so I didn't vote for someone, sadly. Have a great week and good luck with your exam, and mine too.

Mercury and the woodcutter

I knew this story and also you know this story of course. The honest man get the golden and silver axes, and dishonest man get nothing. This story tells you it is really important to be honest about anything. I watched a TV show this morning and its said today's kids don't like the old stories and they don't even know the old stories. We should keep telling the great old stories to our kids, I thought.

The view of lives

There are a lot of jobs in this world, and we dream to get a job that we want. Some people think that it is great to get a job which we can earn a lot, and others think it is important to get a job which we can feel the contentment for it. In the movie”The Nanny Diaries”, there are two types of people as I mentioned. In my opinion, it is important to get a job which attracts you a lot.

In this movie, Annie Braddock graduated a college and her mother wanted her to find a respectable position in the business world. In this case, her mother think the position of the society is important and the money. On the other hand, Annie found that it is important to feel some fulfillment by doing her job.

I understand the both side of ideas, and I think both of them are right. The key is how we can keep the balance of these thoughts. One way to keep the balance is that “Do whatever you want”. Actually, most of people who earn huge money are doing a job what they wanted to do. It is sounds so egotistic, however it’s the best way to take the idea of both side.

The Way You Wear Your Cloth

There is many way to wear clothes in this world and there is much opinion about it. “Snow boarder Kokubo barred from games opening ceremony over dress code” Japan Today was discussing the way he wore the Olympic dress. In my opinion, we should wear cloth formally depends on the situation.

The problem of the snowboarder was he wore the official uniform informally when he arrived at Vancouver. There were a lot of media and they took picture of him. If he wore it informally not in front of media, it wouldn’t be a big problem. The reason of this problem was because he didn’t think when he need to wear it formally.

We can say same thing about youth who are sagging their pants. If they are pants-sagging when they are hanging out with their friends and wear their school uniform formally, the media don’t argue about their fashion. Because they do it all the time, people take a critical attitude to them.

However, it will also be a problem if they are pants-sagging too much. Showing their underwear to everyone is just disgusting.

It is important to express what they think about their fashion. However, it is more important to think when they can express it especially in Japan. We should not forget that there are rules of this society.

I've got the internet

I finally got the internet connection. It is really useful for me to have it. Now, I can post some on this blog from my house and do other works too.

I went to Tosu last weekend to have some fun with my friends. We went to Cold stone and had a ice cream which is so good. I have had it when I was in the U.S. and it was so great. However, the people who are working there was doing some strange things. They are singing during making our order. It is a little embracing to hear the singing till I wait.

And I went back to my house in Kumamoto and I have finished some my own assignment. It took a really long time to finish it. but I felt so great when I finish it. Then I woke up this morning and come to this writing class. Oh... My brain is not working right now. My eyes are very tired from last night, and I will fall asleep if I have any chances. But the internet connection will wakes me up!!!

5day trip

This flower looks like a lot of elephant's head. I also took this picture at the same trip I went. I remember it was raining and we rode a jeep to go the top of the mountain. It is not the mountain you can see behind the flower.
I had really good time there, and If I can go there again, I wish I could drive the jeep and die.
I think that some Japanese scenery are very beautiful and it has the original Japanese view. However, when I was in America, I went to a lot of beautiful places, and I thought the places are really huge. There were also a really beautiful place, and I thought Japan doesn't have a place like there.
The differences of American scenery and Japanese scenery is the scale, I though. Both of countries has really beautiful scenery, but the scale of the scenery is different. I cant say which side is better. It looks really good for both side to me. If you have a chance to go National park, I would say you should go there. You will impressed by the amazing scenery.

My experience

I took this picture when I was in Colorado, USA. It was really a beautiful day, and my friends and I took a trip to somewhere I don't remember. I think it was the place was really famous in Colorado. There is a lot of historical building and the view was wonderful. I took a lot of pics and this is one of them. Can you see a Grass Hopper? I think he is trying to dive into the big sky but he doesn't have enough courage to do it. There is no ground where the grass Hopper watching that is why he cannot do it.

It was really hard to learn things in English. English was a subject to learn for me until I graduated a high school. However, if you step into the land of America, you have to learn a lot of subject in English. It is the big difference, I thought.

I was in Music major, and I took a lot of music class. My professor was really old but he was really nice at me. He is teaching Jazz bands at the University of Montana. He is just amazing. I took the Jazz band class too. It was the best class for me, because I can get credits and play music!!

I will try to write everything I experienced in the U.S. with the great picture.

Kumamoto Onsen

Onsen is one of a famous Japanese culture. We go there when we felt tired, when we want to just relax, and when we want to have some fun with our friends, or a girlfriend. There are two types of Onsen. One of them is public Onsen. We take our cloth off and take it with people we don’t know each other. The best point of that is we can talk with those people. Other type of Onsen is private Onsen which we go there with our family or girlfriend.

The famous places of Onsen are Kurokawa Onsen, Tamana Onsen, Yamaga Onsen, and so on. My favorite place to go is Kikuch Onsen. There are a lot of private Onsen and each of them is really cheap even for students. It’s cost around 1500 yen for 40 min. They usually have 10 or more rooms, so we don’t have to wait a long time to take it.

Kurokawa Onsen is the well known Onsen in Japan. There are a lot of Onsen and it looks so historical place. It is because the owners of the Onsen take their hands together for making the place look great. The road is simple, and there are no colorful things you can see. That’s why people love to go there.

Onsen make all people happy. A lot of people from other countries go there to feel the culture, and they become a big fan of it. There are still lots of Onsen I haven’t been to. I wish I go every famous Onsen and become a King of Onsen.

Book reviews' week!

Here are 3 book reviews!!!!! I did really good job... I think....

She is Lisa. She loves her bear doll named Corduroy. One day, she planted some beans in a garden of her house. And she asked Corduroy to watch it carefully all day while she is gone for school. Corduroy was watching it carefully as she said to him. However, it was really beautiful day and he fall asleep on a chair. The next moment, he saw a dog was digging the garden where Lisa planed beans. He screamed and thought what he can do now. “I have to find more seeds!” he said and he looked for her desk. There were few more beans he found. He went to the garden and he planted the new beans which he found around the desk. Then he goes back to the chair again and he said “I will watch the beans more carefully”. The beans grew and grew. Lisa came home from the school and watches the grown beans. She picked Corduroy and said. “This is not a bean. It’s a green pepper.” Corduroy thought “Is that good?” Then she said “I love green pepper!” Corduroy was really happy because he wanted to do a great job for her.

This story was really good for me to understand. I liked this story because this story has good thought of being kind to someone. I hope I read this story to someone and be same feeling like I felt. I want you to read this book.

The second book review!

There were 5 kids in a town and they were looking for some place to play. Every one of them said that their house is not OK to play because there was something going on at their houses. A girl said “We can make a clubhouse.” Then she pointed a place where is full of grass and also full of junk. Boys said “What a crazy idea!” but the girls didn’t listen. And they borrowed some tools from store in the town and they finally started to build a clubhouse there. There were a lot of heavy staff but they put away together. They made a floor, wall, and roof. Then finally they made a clubhouse. It looks really great and they had a party at there.

This is my second book reviews today and I feel really sleepy, but I decided to finish reading 6 books today.

I leaned how girls are strong and how always boys are nervous. The kids who decided to build the clubhouse were a girl and the kids who decided to borrow the tool were also a girl. Boys were always saying negative things. I also learned that if there are difficult things to do, we can do it when we do it together. Sometimes we learn some important things from bed time story or stories from our childhood. We should read it again and learn those things sometimes, I thought.

Finally, the last one...

“Do kitties like to shop in stores? No, they prefer catalogs!”

“Where do kitties find out what’s happening? From the Daily Mews!”

This book starts with these sentences. Well, I don’t think all of them are funny but few are. Usually Japanese people don’t understand what the funny point of American jokes are. I think it is because our point of view is different from the U.S. When I was in America, I liked the TV show in America, but I couldn’t understand what the comedian saying on the TV. That is because they use a lot of difficult word and always we have to know what is going on inside the U.S government. If I had more vocabulary of cause I could understand what they were saying, however it is still difficult to understand.
